RHEL 4console strange charset issue

hello all,
I have a strange situation whenever I type in alt-1080 on RHEL 4 console I get something like ">" but when I type in ALT-1080 on another RHEL 5 machine I get character "?" as it is normally displayed.
Does anybody have a suggestion?

I meant cyrrilic character "?" not "?". Actually I think this is the default Windows keymap.If open windows cmd promt and type ALT-1080 I get an "8" but if type ALT-1080 on RHEL 4 I get "?" .my question is now how can anybody config Linux console to have the same key map like Windows cmd prompt?

I would recommend getting a character map for your distro release. I don't
see any problems. Just use the same release for all machines. Duh! Also,
check for software that can be loaded for using those characters.
